Nose Weight

    OK guys,  judging from all the snide remarks, I must have asked your 
collective Holinesses a stupid question. Since I have no components to 
easily move, and I'm not going to move the wing tube forward, I guess the 
only other thing to do is think about lightening the tail. I am using a DB 
fiberglass rod for elevator as called for in the plan and it seems a little 
heavy. Perhaps I should think about using pull-pull for elevator to lighten 
the tail and avoid the "crime" of adding nose weight. BTW, I don't have 
super light weight components elsewhere on the plane. This is to be an entry 
level airplane. I wonder what I should do about the "crime" of being new to 
pattern?
